United States v. Green, No. 14-12830 (11th Cir. 2017)
Annotate this Case
In light of the Eleventh Circuit's decision in United States v. Vail-Bailon, 868 F.3d 1293 (11th Cir. 2017), the court vacated its prior panel opinion and substituted this opinion, which has been revised only in Section II.D.
The court denied defendant's motion for panel rehearing as moot. The court held that because the district court correctly counted defendant's felony battery conviction under Florida Statute 784.04 as a violent felony, defendant therefore had at least three prior violent felony convictions and the imposition of the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA) enhancement was required. The court affirmed defendant's conviction and sentence.
This opinion or order relates to an opinion or order originally issued on November 30, 2016.
